A Prisoner of the British-- Part 2

He was later interned at the infamous Dartmoor Prison and was there at the Massacre of American prisoners on April 6, 1815.

Who wrote it?  Benjamin Waterhouse,  a pioneer physician, would have been 59 at this time. Probably too old for the rigors of life aboard a ship.

There are some who think the author might be Henry Torey, 21, from Massachusetts
